My goal is to do an honours year and PhD in astrophysics and astronomy at ANU. I don't know what area yet... I have years to figure that out, but either theoretical or observational. My two program options for uni next year are BEng(computer systems)/BSci(Physics) or BMaths(Pure)/BSci(Physics)...

I got 74 in 2U maths and 78 in physics. I was expecting band 5s but that obviously didn't pan out. Should I still pursue a double degree in mathematics and physics with the hopes of doing a PhD? I am very passionate about physics, but also enjoy biology a lot. I got 92 in bio, 83 in...

Hi all, I'm wanting desperately to attend UNSW next year (I'm currently in year 12), but I'm having doubts as to whether or not it can be done with the issue of commuting a total of 5 hours every day I need to go to uni annoyingly lingering over my head. I understand that some people manage...

In the application, do you have to specify your major? For example, when I apply for a Bachelor of Science in a couple weeks, will I be required to, or have the option to, select my major for next year in that degree?

I am doing an investigation on the effects of the environment on the phenotype of an organism (wheatgrass). I'm going to look at how different colours of light (red, blue, and white) affect its phenotype. I'm required to do a control group for this assignment, but I have no idea what it...

Hi! I'm wondering what you all think about the Biomedical Science degree at UON compared to the one at the University of Queensland. Medicine is one of a few options for the future, so if you could factor that into the answer of which uni is best for Biomed that'd be great! :) Thankyou :D

Hello :) I'm in year 12 at the moment (I do my HSC in 2017) and I have some pretty complex questions regarding what I can and can't do in terms of number of courses and majors at uni. I'm excessively passionate about science, so the science/technology field is where I want to go and do...

Hey everyone, My teacher has given us a whooole heap of questions using ω=theta/time (theta = angle travelled in radians, ω = angular velocity, t = time), and I was going through my textbook and physics formula sheet for the HSC and there is no reference to radians or ω=theta/time, but only...

Hey everyone! I'm beginning year 12 next term and wanted to see if there are any good or useful textbooks that students use/have used for senior science? I'd be using it to guarantee a 95+ mark for the 2017 HSC :D I'm also doing biology and physics and have just gotten textbooks for them...

Hey guys! I've been pondering whether senior science would be better for me during year 12 as opposed to chemistry. I enjoy chemistry, but I really suck at it (50% average this year) and it really frustrates and stresses me out. I believe if I did senior science I could get my desired...

Hello! I plan on doing a double degree after I finish year 12, but location is limiting for me. It'd be amazing if I could move out of home and into a small place by myself with as much privacy as possible. First question: How difficult would it be to juggle a double degree (Bachelor...

When applying for a bachelors degree like a Bachelor of Science, how do you do a double major? Is it easy to apply for? When do you apply for the double major? I'm interested in a double major of physics and maths in the bachelor of science :)

Hello! The subjects I have been heavily thinking about doing for year 12 are Standard English (I'm in advanced right now but I don't feel I'm up to the level required for advanced), advanced maths, extension 1 maths, extension 2 maths (picking that up in year 12), biology, and physics. I am...

Hello. I seem to post here a lot, so I apologise for the spamming of the thread thing or whatever it's called. Haha I have a semi-science related question for anyone willing to read this! Please do, any opinion is welcome. I love science and I'm incredibly passionate about it, and I would...

Hello, I have an extension exam coming up and want to write summaries for each topic. How do I lay it out? And for permutations and combinations - a topic that mostly relies on experience with types of questions - how do I summarise that? Also for trigonometry and polynomials...

Hello everyone! I'm writing my reports for the five flowers I have to do, and I'm unsure on how to lay out each report. Do I use subheadings? My teacher posted a case study on mangroves and it has 6 subheadings that discuss various traits and characteristics of the mangrove, so would this...

Hi there! Prelim extension 1 :) I can't understand (or get the answer for) question 7a in exercise 6.15 in the maths in focus textbook. For those without that textbook, the question is: "By writing 3x as 2x + x, find an expression in terms of x for: a) Sin3x" The answer is...

I'm doing advanced and extension 1 maths right now, and I'm unsure if I should do extension 2 in year 12. I really love maths and would love to do extension 2 because why not have more maths!! Haha The problem is how I'm doing in 2U and 3U right now. I'm 6/11 in advanced, but know I can do...
